MM Brake Amount vs Brake EPA on transmitter

[Lauri]

I just got one Castle MM to use and test for next race on my 1:8 Xray XB808 buggy.

I am checking the settings with Castle Link at the moment and started wondering about limiting the brakes using Brake Amount or just limiting EPA on transmitter. Is it the same or is it better to keep EPA maximum on transmitter and limit it on the ESC using Brake Amount?

I usually run quite little brakes because of my driving style.

Could I just put the Brake Amount to 100% on ESC and then limit it using Brake EPA dial on my transmitter to 35% for an example?

Thanks!

They basically do the same thing. If you set the ESC to 80% brake, and the brake EPA to 90%, that means you will have a total of 72% braking. The only advantage to using EPA is that you can adjust it on the fly without having to mess with the ESC.

Thank you. It seemed logical but you never know how the ESC actually interprets different things ;)

I will leave it on 50% and then play with EPA on the transmitter. And if its too little I can always change it on the ESC.

I usually adjust the MM brake more than I need and run the brake adjustment on the radio lower; that way you can dial in more brake on the fly if needed.

Also if you are running reverse, changing the epa on the radio also changes your reverse speed. If you lower the brakes with castle link they can be independent of reverse
